COMPANY HISTORY
Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the
licensing of stem cell technology, the sale of stem cell products, and the
referral of patients to affiliated stem cell clinics through it's wholly-owned
subsidiary Stem Cell Therapy International Corp ("Stem Cell Florida"), which the
Company acquired in 2005. The complete history of the Company and its operating
subsidiary is as follows:
The Company's operating subsidiary is Stem Cell Florida. Stem Sell Florida
was incorporated in Nevada on December 2, 2004, with the primary purpose of
establishing stem cell transplantation clinics and stem cell marketing. Prior
to the reverse acquisition and since inception, Stem Cell Florida was a
development stage company whose activities had been limited to raising capital,
organizational matters, and the structuring of its business plan. Stem Cell
Florida remains in a developmental stage, as the Company continues to focus
primarily on developing its business strategy and financing the Company.
The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 28, 1992 as
Arklow Associates, Inc. On March 20, 1997, the Company changed its name to The
Ultimate Cigar Company, Inc. On July 22, 1999, the Company changed its name to
Ultimate Direct, Inc. On January 11, 2005, the Company changed its name to
Altadyne, Inc.
On March 20, 2005, R Capital Partners, Inc., a Nevada Corporation ("R
Capital"), acquired the Company (then Altadyne, Inc., a shell company).
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 22,500,000 shares of Altadyne,
Inc. common stock to R Capital in exchange for $125,000.
On September 1, 2005, Stem Cell Florida acquired the Company (then
Altadyne, Inc.) from R Capital by way of a reverse acquisition. R Capital, Stem
Cell Florida, and the Company (then Altadyne, Inc.) entered into a
Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement. At that point, the Company had no
assets, liabilities or ongoing operations. Pursuant to the agreement, Altadyne
acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Stem Cell
Florida in a non-cash transaction and Stem Cell Florida became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Altadyne. As consideration for 100% of the shares of Stem Cell
Florida, the shareholders of Stem Cell Florida acquired (1) shares newly issued
by the Company (then Altadyne, Inc.), and (2) certain shares transferred by R
Capital. Of the 22,500,000 shares originally held by R Capital, R Capital
retained 4,349,196 shares and transferred 4,000,000 shares to finders
unaffiliated with R Capital. R Capital transferred the remaining 14,150,804
shares held by it to the shareholders of Stem Cell Florida and others. In
addition, the Company issued 10,409,864 new shares to the shareholders of Stem
Cell Florida and others. The recipients of these 24,560,668 shares include the
shareholders of Stem Cell Florida, unaffiliated consultants in exchange for
services, and members of the President's family in exchange for a reduction in
debt owed to the President.
3
As a result of this transaction, Stem Cell Florida became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (then Altadyne, Inc.), and the shareholders of Stem
Cell Florida became shareholders of the Company. The Company assumed operation
of the business of Stem Cell Florida, which was to establish stem cell therapy
clinics and stem cell marketing. On October 5, 2005, the Company changed its
name to Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. to reflect the new business of the
Company.
COMPANY AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The Company's executive management team are: Calvin C. Cao, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer; Daniel J. Sullivan, Chief Financial Officer; and Peter
K. Sidorenko, Chief Operating Officer. The Company's affiliate, ICT, also has
the following officers: Dr. Yuriv Gladkikh, Chief Scientist; Dr. Galina
Lobyntseva, Chief of Manufacture; Sergei Martynenko Director of Clinic in Kiev;
Dr. Vladimir Gladkikh, Medical Director; and Dr. Dimitriy Lobyntsev, Director of
Research. Although these persons are not employees of the Company, we consider
them vital to the success of our company.
We are indirectly involved, as a "middle man," in research and development
and practical application within the field of regenerative medicine. SCTI
provides allo (human) stem cell biological solutions that are currently being
used in the treatment of patients suffering from degenerative disorders of the
human body. The Company has established agreements with highly specialized,
professional medical treatment facilities around the world in locations where
Stem Cell Transplantation therapy is approved by the appropriate local
government agencies.
We intend to provide these biological solutions containing allo stem cell
products also in the United States to universities, institutes and privately
funded laboratory facilities for research purposes and clinical trials.
Our mission is to make available our stem cell products to treatment
facilities around the world, so that patients suffering from biological and
neurological disorders, previously deemed incurable by traditional medicine, may
find a solution to their disabling and crippling conditions within the new field
of stem cell transplantation therapy. Our products include solutions containing
allo stem cell biological solutions, adult stem cells (stem cells that remain
undifferentiated in a mature organism) and stem cells which are extracted from
umbilical cord blood.
Members of our U.S. and European Medical and Scientific Advisory Boards
review each patient's condition and medical history. They establish an
individual treatment protocol for each patient that includes the appropriate
stem cell transplantation therapy, the number of stem cell doses required,
special diet and lifestyle recommendations as well as physical therapy and
specific exercise and recovery programs. There are no set criteria to determine
these questions; the members of each Board use their professional expertise and
judgment to determine the treatment protocol on a case by case basis. The
Boards are independent consultants.
4
In the future we plan to introduce a number of different cures and
treatments, and develop vertical markets in all aspects of stem cell use, which
will improve the quality of life for thousands of patients around the world,
much sooner than later.
Stem cell transplantation therapy is a field of medicine which uses
techniques and technologies that rely on replacing diseased, damaged or
dysfunctional cells with healthy, functioning ones. This therapy is similar to
the process of organ transplantation where the treatment only consists of the
transplantation of allo stem cells into the body rather than entire organs, thus
eliminating any chance of rejection, or the need for expensive and potentially
dangerous immunosuppression drug therapy (the use of drug therapy to suppress
the immune system, in order to prevent the immune system from attacking a
transplanted organ). See Mayo Clinic Medical Services, "Stem Cell Transplant,"
at www.mayoclinic.com/health/stem-cell-transplant/CA00067.
These new techniques are being applied to potentially finding a cure for a
wide range of human disorders, including neurological diseases such as
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease, ALS (which is also commonly known as Lou
Gehrig's disease), leukemia, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, arthritis,
spinal cord injuries, brain injury, stroke, heart disease, liver and retinal
disease, diabetes as well as certain types of cancer and can alleviate the side
effects of chemotherapy. See "List of Diseases Potentially Treated by the
Company's Technology" below page 15 for a more complete discussion.
Our research and biological productions affiliate facility is located in
Kiev in the Republic of the Ukraine. This facility is the main location for the
members of our SCTI European Scientific and Medical Advisory Board and serves as
a working affiliate treatment facility as well.
Since 1981, the study and production of biological preparations from animal
and human cells were being carried out within the framework of the scientific
programs under the aegis of the National Academy of Sciences, the Medical
Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Public Health and the Coordination Center
for Organ, Tissue, and Cells Transplantation within the Ukraine Ministry of
Public Health. The applications of biological stem cell preparations have been
sanctioned by the Ministry of Public Health of the Ukraine since 1991 (The end
of communist control in the Ukraine). See P. Filaroski, "ALS Victim Hunts for
Cure in Ukraine Clinic Offers Hope in Stem Cell Treatment," The Florida
Union-Times, July 17, 2002.
We also have an affiliate treatment facility in Tijuana, Mexico, we
currently have a Treating Physicians Agreement with Dr. Vargas and Dr. Quintero
to treat patients that we refer at the Tijuana clinic.
The Company's offices are presently located at 2203 N Lois Ave 9th Floor,
Tampa, FL 33607. The Company's website is http://www.SCTIcorp.com.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
We do not directly offer any medical advise, diagnosis or treatment
involving Stem Cells, and we do not create stem cells. Instead, we obtain
licenses for stem cell technology and essentially act as a "middle man" between
stem cell product suppliers, affiliated clinics, and patients. Our stem cell
products are manufactured by ICT, our affiliate in Kiev. Accordingly, our
primary source of revenue comes from: (1) providing referral services, including
information and education services, to patients, and (2) supplying the clinic
with stem cell products that they will use on the patients that we refer to
them.
Although the market for our services is in its infancy and still
developing, the potential market includes any person with a disease or injury
that becomes treatable by stem cell therapy. Thus, our market depends largely
on the Research and Development efforts of our affiliates and others from which
we may obtain licenses in the future.
Information, Education and Referral Services
Through our website and organizations like the StrokeNetwork.org,
DifferentStrokes.org, the MS Society, we have a worldwide referral network of
potential patients seeking stem cell treatment at our affiliate clinics in Kiev,
Ukraine and Tijuana, Mexico. We offer information, education and referral
services for those individuals with degenerative conditions seeking stem cell
and related therapies in a lawful jurisdiction outside of the United States.
Sales of Stem Cell Products
Once we have referred patients to an affiliated clinic, we supply that
clinic with the stem cell products that they will use on the referred patients.
Our principal stem cell products are solutions containing allo stem cell
biological solutions, either adult stem cells or stem cells which are extracted
from umbilical cord blood. We do not directly collect, culture or clone stem
cell lines. Instead, we have entered into a License Agreement with the
Institute of Cell Therapy ("ICT") in Kiev, Ukraine. The License operates as
both a license to use ICT's intellectual property, and as a distribution
agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, we purchase stem cell materials from ICT,
and sell the solutions to affiliated clinics. The material terms of the License
Agreement are explained in greater detail below. We only provide stem cell
products to our affiliated clinics, which are highly specialized, professional
medical treatment facilities around the world in locations where Stem Cell
Transplantation therapy is approved by the appropriate local government
agencies.
Our mission is to make available its stem cell products to treatment
facilities around the world, so that patients suffering from biological and
neurological disorders, previously deemed incurable by traditional medicine, may
find a solution to their disabling and crippling conditions within the new field
of stem cell transplantation therapy. We also intend to provide these products
in the United States to universities, institutes and privately funded laboratory
facilities for research purposes and clinical trials, to the extent allowed by
United States law.

OVERVIEW OF STEM CELLS AND THEIR BENEFITS
Stem Cell Transplantation is a minimal surgical procedure that has been
used successfully for more than 70 years as a treatment of many diseases for
which modern medicine has had no therapy, or in which traditional therapies
stopped being effective. A documented 5 million patients have already been
treated using Stem Cell Transplantaion worldwide to-date, evidenced by over
140,000 publications in MEDLINE. For a complete resource on stem cells and stem
cell transplantation, visit www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/stemcellsandstemcell
transplantation.html.
Stem cell transplantation is not a "wonder drug," or a transplantation of
some "wonder cell" that will cure everything. The body of every member of the
animal kingdom, including man, is built from about 200 kinds of cells, see P.
Dasgupta, "Much Ado about Stem Cells," The Statesman SciTech Supplement, Aug.
20, 2001, available at http://cactus.eas.asu.edu/ Partha/columns.htm, and since
1998 the Company's affiliated entities have been able to prepare stem cell
transplants and make such transplants available for patient treatment, without
immunosuppression.
This is the result of more than 20 years of ongoing research by many
individuals and companies, and clinical experience with stem cell
transplantation in patients suffering from those diseases where physicians
recognized that their patient needed an outright transplantation of allo stem
cells to replace the dead or non-functioning cells, or a direct stimulation of
regeneration (i.e. repair) of the damaged cells and tissues of various organs.
There are crucial differences in the mechanism of the action of Stem Cell
Transplantation as opposed to traditional drug (chemical) therapy and organ
transplantation; Cell transplantation is a vastly different approach to existing
medical therapy. Everything in the living body is in constant motion: electrons,
protons, and other elementary particles of each atom, all atoms, all molecules,
all cell organelles (the specialized parts of a cell, analogous to a cell's
"organs"), as well as all fluids, which represent between 75% and 55% of body
weight. See University of Massachusetts, Amherst Dining Services, "The Six Basic
Nutrients," at http://www.umass.edu/diningservices/nutrition/six_basic_
nutrients.html. Further, there is electromagnetic radiation associated with all
such movement, a subject almost completely neglected by medical science. The
final result of all of this activity is that every cell in your body (with the
possible exception of certain neurons) is programmed to die. All cells of our
body are being continuously replaced, albeit each kind with different speed. See
generally Christopher Potten and James Wilson, Apoptosis: the Life and Death of
Cells, Cambridge University Press (2004) for a complete discussion on the death
and replacement of the body's cells.
It is common knowledge among the medical community that generally in every
disease the principal cells of a diseased organ die faster than the sick body is
able to replace them. When the quantity of principal cells of a diseased organ
drops below a certain limit, the organ dies. If it is a vitally important
organ, without which one cannot live, such as the heart, liver or brain, for
example, and surgeons cannot replace such a dying organ, the sick organism will
die, as well. Current medicine knows of one treatment only when it becomes
mandatory to replace
7
dead cells, tissues, or organs--transplantation. Transplantations of organs from
human donors, such as heart, kidney, liver, etc., have become fairly common
nowadays. See "The Future of Organ Transplantations," at http://www.itvisus.com/
programs/cemr/press_futureorgan.asp. These are life saving major surgical
procedures, usually done as a "treatment of last resort."
Besides the obvious surgical risk, there is always a problem of rejection.
See "Transplant Rejection," at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transplant_
rejection. The body of the recipient patient rejecting a transplanted organ from
another body is almost always guaranteed as an issue in transplantation surgery,
and the only way to prevent it is by taking immunosuppressants (drugs used to
suppress the immune system) for the rest of the patient's life. These drugs can
stop a rejection for some time, but only at the expense of serious, often
life-endangering, complications. By suppressing the patients' immune system it
leaves the patient vulnerable to many types of infectious diseases. See
"Immunosuppression," at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Immunosuppression.
Some organs cannot be transplanted, such as the brain, spinal cord, eyes,
neural system or the immune system, so that many diseases cannot be treated by
organ transplantation. See "Whole Body Transplant" at http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Brain_transfer; Boulder Eye Surgeons, "Basic Eye Facts," at
http://www.bouldereyesurgeons.com/basiceyefacts.htm; F. Wilt, "Continuation of
Discussion of Cloning," at http://mcb.berkeley.edu/courses/mcb31/lect10.html.
Transplantation of bone marrow hematopoitic stem cells was introduced into
clinical practice in the 1950s, approximately the same time as the first
successful organ transplantation. See The Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center,
"The History of Transplantation," at http://www.fhcrc.org/science/clinical/
ltfu/faqs/transplantation.html; The Southeast Tissue Alliance, "History of Organ
and Tissue Transplantation," at http://www.donorcare.org/ about_history.html.
The Company believes that stem cell transplantation will dominate the medicine
of the 21st century. The main reasons for such statements are:
1) Stem cell transplantation is a minor procedure for a patient, (no more than
an Intra Muscular injection or an Intra Venus drip like a transfusion) and
for that reason the Company believes it can be, and should be, used in the
earlier stages of those diseases that current medicine cannot cure, or even
treat. It means that there is no logical reason to wait until the
end-stage, as is the case with organ transplantation, and has been the case
with stem cell transplantation until now.
2) One of the reasons why stem cell transplantation is such a simple procedure
for a patient to go through is the principle of "homing." Homing means that
the respective stem cells do not have to be implanted directly into a
damaged organ, (e.g. liver stem cells into liver), they can be implanted
into more accessible superficial tissues, (e.g. under certain connective
tissues of an abdominal muscle), because they will find their way into the
damaged organ, as if "attracted" by it. See National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute, "Homing Determinants in Stem/Progenitor Cells," 25 NIH Guide No.
24 (1996), available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/
RFA-HL-96-020.html.
8
3) The Company believes that every diseased organ in the human body can be
treated by stem cell transplantation.
4) Besides serving as a replacement for dead cells of a diseased organ, the
transplanted cells can bring back to life (or repair) those cells of such
organ which actually have not died, just stopped functioning properly as a
result of the disease. In other words, besides transplanting new stem cells
there is another mechanism of action of stem cell transplantation: a direct
stimulation of regeneration (or repair) of existing organs at the cellular
level. See O. Lindvall et al., "Stem Cells For the Treatment of
Neurological Disorders," 441 Nature 1094 (2006), available at
http://www.nature.com.
5) If stem cells are properly prepared, such as by the methods employed by the
Company, they can be implanted without immunosuppression, and thus avoid
all complications caused by the use of such medications. For clinical
examples of the use of stem cells without the need for immunosuppression,
See Makkar, R. et al., "Intramyocardial Injection of Allogenic Bone
Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Without Immunosuppression Preserves
Cardiac Function in a Porcine Model of Myocardial Infarction," 10 J.
Cardiovascular Pharmacology & Therapeutics 225 (2005), available at
http://cpt.sagepub.com; Johns Hopkins Heart Institute, "Stem Cell Therapy
Effectively Treats Heart Attacks in Animals," at
http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2004/
The Company's stem cell transplants do not require immunosuppressant
medications after treatment. This methodology is patented in Russia and in the
Ukraine in licenses held by the Company. The Company has not discovered a new
procedure of Stem Cell Transplantation, but is using technology which has been
in existence for some period of time.
The Company utilizes a patented method to prepare Stem Cell Transplants of
any of the approximately 200 kinds of cells for clinical use, which can be
implanted with safety and without the need for immunosuppression medication to
prevent rejection of stem cells.
WHAT IS STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION?
Stem cells can be compared to floating voters - they have yet to make up
their minds. They are unspecialized cells that can renew themselves indefinitely
and develop into specialized, more mature cells. They have the potential to be
useful in repairing or replacing damaged body parts, and the hope is that they
could be the basis for future treatments of many diseases, including Alzheimer's
and Parkinson's diseases, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis and diabetes.
Stem cells can potentially be derived from several sources: (1) from
embryos while they are still microscopic clusters of cells; (2) from fetal
tissue, usually from aborted fetuses; and (3) perhaps with greater technical
difficulty, from adult organs, for example from bone marrow during
transplantation. See St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, "Stem Cell
Sources," at http://www.stjude.org/stem-cell-trans/0,2527,419_4135_6103,00.html.
9
Possible sources of embryonic stem cells are embryos left over from
fertility treatment that would otherwise be discarded, and specially created
embryos. Embryos could be specially created using standard in vitro
fertilization (IVF) techniques, whereby a sperm cell and an egg cell are
combined. Other methods are cloning techniques, such as cell nuclear
replacement (where the nucleus of an adult cell is introduced into an
unfertilized egg), and parthenogenesis (where an egg cell is activated into
commencing development without being fertilized). A potential advantage of
cloning is that it could avoid the recognition by the recipient's immune system
of the tissue developed from the stem cells as foreign, and rejection of the
tissue. Once isolated, stem cells can be cultured and stored. As well as being
potentially useful in treating disease (therapeutic cloning), cloned embryos
could be implanted into a woman with a view to the birth of a child
(reproductive cloning). See The Royal Society, "Stem Cells and Cloning," at
http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/landing.asp?id=1202 for a complete resource on stem
cells and cloning. Neither the Company nor its affiliates have any plans to
clone human embryos.
Human embryonic stem cells were successfully isolated and cultured from
embryos in the United States in 1998. These embryos were produced for clinical
purposes, and donated for the research. See "What is the History of Stem Cell
Research?" at http://www.allaboutpopularissues.org/history-of-stem-cell-
research-faq.htm.
In summary:
- Stem Cell Transplantation is a surgical procedure that has its origins in
bone marrow transplants first performed in the 1950s, and has the potential
to treat many conditions for which modern medicine has had no therapy, or
for which 'state-of-art' therapies stopped being effective;
- Stem cell transplantation is not a 'wonder drug';
- Stem cell transplantation directly stimulates repair of the damaged cells
of any and all organs and tissues, and replaces dead or non-functioning
cells;
- Stem cells can be of human (allo-) or animal (xeno-) origin; and
- Stem cell transplantation can be done through implantation by injection,
minor or major surgery, or by surface application.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF STEM CELLS AND HOW THEY WORK
When an egg is fertilized, the cells start to divide, first into two, then
four, eight cells, and more and more cells. Cell division continues, after four
days from fertilization, the conceptus (fertilized, pre-birth entity) becomes a
multi-cell ball called a blastocyst. After ten days, the blastocyst will begin
to form an embryo. The precursor stem cells of any and all organs or tissues
are harvested along with other members of the cell family from the fetus at 27
days and can be transplanted into a patient to treat a variety of conditions.
Stem cells can regenerate into new cells, repairing or replacing the damaged
cells.

STEM CELL INDUSTRY CONSIDERATIONS
In the nascent, but rapidly growing field of stem cell therapies, products
are a long way from being commercialized. However, the market potential for
stem cell therapies products is very large. See generally "Cell Therapy
Commercialization: Applying Stem Cell and Related Strategies," Drug and Market
Development Publishing, January, 2006.
Much has been made of President Bush's 2001 executive order limiting the
use of federal funds for human embryonic stem-cell research. With this absence
of federal funding for stem cell research, researchers and stem-cell supporters
are seeking private investment to drive the science and the industry forward.
According to an abundant and diverse body of clinical studies, scientists
believe embryonic stem cells, which can grow and assimilate into any type of
body tissue, could eventually provide a unique way to repair damaged or diseased
tissue and treat or cure ailments including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's,
diabetes and even spinal cord injuries. See "List of
13
Diseases Potentially Treatable by the Company's Technology," below page 15.
Supporters say the laboratory creation and study of these lines, which could
number in the hundreds, is crucial to the advancement of the research.
Private donations have also spurred discovery of new stem-cell lines at
Harvard, which subsequently created the Stem Cell Institute, and the University
of Wisconsin, the University of California and Johns Hopkins have all made
advancements in stem-cell research.
According to an editorial published in RED HERRING (Feb 2003), stem cell
therapies are poised to capture what could be the biggest new market to hit
biotech in a decade, nearly equal to the whole biotech industry at present.
This estimate doesn't even address the market for stem cells capable of
repairing damaged vital organs like the brain, heart, and kidneys."
California's Proposition 71 currently allocates $3 billion funding for stem
cell research and development. Other states are rapidly following suit. On
April 7, 2006, for example, the governor of Maryland signed a new bill into law
setting aside $15 million for stem cell research.
According to the website of the U.S. NIDDK (National Institute of Diabetes,
Digestive & Kidney Diseases) 18.2 million people--6.3% of the population--suffer
from diabetes mellitus in the U.S. in 2000 and over 194 million globally.
COMPANY STRATEGY
Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. is currently earning revenue from
stem cell sales outside of the United States, as it has done since 2005. The
Company plans to expand its global operations to meet expanding market needs.
Growth plans include:
- Expansion of indirect manufacturing capability, by acquiring additional
licenses from cryobanks worldwide
- Establishment of "showcase" treatment clinics: We intend to establish
additional treatment clinics, either by creating additional affiliations
with independent clinics or by setting up and directly running our own
clinics. We intend for each clinic to become a source of both company and
revenue growth, and also literally a "showcase" to demonstrate the
efficacy, safety, and overall benefits of our products and Stem Cell
Transplantation generally. To accomplish these goals, the Company will hold
these clinics to the highest standards of quality patient care.
- Increased sales to clinics and physicians globally: We intend to create
additional affiliations with treatment facilities and clinics in lawful
jurisdictions where stem cell transplantation therapy is permitted by the
appropriate government agencies. We will refer patients to these clinics as
well as provide the supply of stem cell products to treat these patients.
- Increased sales of our stem cell products to university and private labs
globally, for use in research and clinical studies.
14
- Joint Ventures with Ministries of Health in different countries: We will
set up partnerships with different Ministries of Health that will allow
stem cell transplantation in their jurisdiction by trained medical
professionals and treating physicians. We will supply the stem cells and
refer patients to be treated in those countries as per our agreements.
- Expansion of involvement with research and development activities: Our
affiliates will continue to develop new stem cell products, and we will
continue to seek licenses for newly developed technology
- Increasing patent portfolio: We currently hold rights to 26 patents
registered in the Ukraine, pursuant to a License Agreement between the
Company and ICT. We intend to apply for patents based on the technologies
behind these 26 Ukrainian patents in other countries, including the United
States. As part of this endeavor, we will seek to acquire technologies from
government health agencies. We currently plan to work with the National
Institute of Health in the United States, and will consider working with
additional government health agencies in the future.
- Licensing of technology to appropriate partners: Where appropriate and in
the best interest of the Company, we will enter into License Agreements
with various partners to allow them use of our intellectual property.
The Company was created to serve as a legal and distribution entity for an
ongoing project of stem cell transplantation by a group of physicians-experts in
this field from various western and eastern countries. The Company provides
stem cell solutions that are currently being used in the treatment of patients
suffering from degenerative disorders of the human body. The Company has
established agreements with highly specialized, professional medical treatment
facilities around the world in locations where stem cell transplantation therapy
is approved by the appropriate local government agencies. The Company intends
to provide these biological solutions containing stem cell products in the
United States as well, to universities, institutes and privately funded
laboratory facilities for research purposes and clinical trials.
LIST OF DISEASES POTENTIALLY TREATED BY THE COMPANY'S TECHNOLOGY:
Together with independent clinical research studies, our affiliates'
successful clinical results with about thirty patients, which the company
considers quite an adequate number considering the developmental stage our
industry is in, have demonstrated several categories of diseases that
potentially can be cured or otherwise treated by the use of stem cell
transplantation therapy.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of diseases that have either
actually been treated with stem cell therapy, or have had positive clinical
results that indicate that the disease may be treatable in the not-so-distant
future:
15
Cancers and other Malignant Growths
- Acute and Chronic Leukemia,
- Myelodysplastic Syndromes
(Pre-Leukemia)
- Hodgkin's Disease and other Lymphomas
- Neuroblastoma
- Brain Tumors
- Ewing Sarcoma

Based on the enormous amount of positive clinical studies in such a broad
array of different diseases, the Company firmly believes that every diseased
organ may become treatable with stem cells, including diseases of the digestive
tract, ear, nose and throat diseases, infectious diseases, allergies, and other
long-term chronic diseases of the internal organs.
Our affiliate clinics in Kiev, Ukraine and Tijuana, Mexico have treated
several different diseases, as described below. Even though the Company is
still in its developmental and planning stage, to date we have already referred
two patients for treatment to the Kiev clinic: one stroke patient and one
multiple sclerosis patient.

LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH INSTITUTE OF CELL THERAPY
In September, 2005, the Company acquired Stem Cell Therapy International
Corp., a Nevada Corporation ("Stem Cell Florida"), which became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company and is currently the Company's operational business.
In doing so, the Company acquired the entirety of Stem Cell Florida's
intellectual property, which most significantly included a License Agreement
with the Institute of Cell Therapy, a Kiev, Ukraine corporation ("ICT"), the
material terms of which are as follows:
Effective August 5, 2005, Stem Cell Florida entered into a licensing
agreement with ICT. ICT is the owner of: (1) a unique process for producing
biological solution of human stem cells (the "Process"); (2) 26 Patents related
to stem cell transplantation (the "Patents"); and (3) products consisting of
biological solution of human stem cells (the "Products"). ICT is in the
business of producing biological solution of human stem cells and engages in
continuing research regarding the production and utilization of stem cells.
In accordance with the license agreement, Stem Cell Florida obtained
exclusive utilization in all but the Ukraine, Dominican Republic and three other
countries of the world (to be designated by ICT) of the Patents, the Products
and the Process of ICT for establishing clinics, marketing, treating and
administering stem cell products to customers, and selling certain limited
amounts to universities, for research or to private labs.
The licensing agreement also functions effectively as a distribution
agreement pursuant to which Stem Cell Florida purchases stem cell materials for
delivery to patients from ICT. Stem Cell Florida has a fixed pricing
arrangement with ICT and an exclusivity to the supply of those products provided
Stem Cell Florida meets certain annual minimums.
The license agreement extends for ten years and may be renewed for an
additional ten year period. In consideration for the license agreement, Stem
Cell Florida issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to ICT, which we valued at
$5,000, and which are subject to resale restrictions and limitations.
Stem Cell Florida recorded the $5,000 as a prepaid expense to be amortized
over the 120 month life of the agreement at $47.67. When the Company acquired
Stem Cell Florida, the Company re-classified the prepaid balance to show only
one year's worth of prepaid expense, with the remaining balance appearing as a
long-term item.
NUMBER OF PATIENTS TREATED BY THE COMPANY'S AFFILIATES:
The company does not directly treat patients with Stem Cell Therapy, but
instead refers patients to clinics affiliated with the Company. The following
table reflects the treatments to date by clinics affiliated with the Company,
including the types of diseases treated and the number of patients treated for
each disease:

The Company is presently affiliated with the following two clinics:
1. Kiev, Ukraine: Institute of Cell Technology,
2. Tijuana, Mexico: Dr. Salvador Vargas's clinic has been offering
stem cell transplants since 2000.
The clinics in Kiev, Ukraine and Tijuana, Mexico are independently owned
and operated. We have no ownership and we do not treat any patients. Our
affiliate clinics license our stem cell technology and we provide them with stem
cell products to treat patients.
Instead of treating patients, we provide information and education services
to patients interested in Stem Cell Therapy, and if they elect to pursue the
treatment we refer the patients to our Medical and Scientific Advisory Board, a
group of independent consultants. The Board determines if the patient is a good
candidate for Stem Cell Therapy, and if they are, the Company refers the
patients to one of our affiliated clinics. After we refer the patients to the
independent clinics, the Company has no further discretion regarding the
diagnosis, treatment, progress, or prognosis of the patient.

MANUFACTURING
Basic Approach
The basis of stem cell therapy is the presence of preparations of allo stem
cell biological solutions. The company's affiliate has developed and patented a
unique biological solution, which consists of hematopoietic human stem cells,
numerous low-molecular proteins, nutrients, hormones and human growth factors
(compounds made by the body to regulate cell division and cell survival). For
further reference this whole set will be called a "biological solution."
Stem cells are a fundamental principle of an organism; they give rise to
all 220 types of specialized cells and tissues of an organism. They are present
in the human embryo, placental complex, an adults' bone marrow and also in
insignificant number in other tissues. Their main feature is an ability to
regenerate: they are capable of making identical copies of themselves for the
lifetime of the organism. To put it simply, they are theoretically eternal. In
reality, as a result of enduring infections, traumas, hereditary infringements,
harmful factors of the environment and emotional stresses stem cells lose their
ability of endless regeneration and basically that is the starting point of the
aging processes and appearance of the long-term diseases which in turn stop the
processes of the stem cells division. If at birth their content equals one stem
cell to 10 thousand, then at the age of 50 it is already one to half a million
and at the age of 70, one to a million of the hematopoietic cells. See generally
Christopher Potten and James Wilson, Apoptosis: the Life and Death of Cells,
Cambridge University Press (2004).
The isolation process of stem cells for medical purposes is the most
expensive part of modern biotechnology for stem cells. Today there have been
effective methods worked out for the isolation of stem cells from an embryo,
fetus and umbilical cord blood (the rest of the blood in an umbilical cord and
placenta after delivery). Modern technology allows for the preparation of these
cells for the treatment of many diseases.
The Company believes that the most promising way to create this
individualized medication, which could be used in the case of disease or the
loss of any organ, is to keep stem cells in a frozen condition, collecting the
rest of the umbilical cord blood during a birth and using preparations created
on their basis. Upon introduction into the organism of a patient, stem cells
find the struck organs, the so-called target organs, where they migrate and
provide powerful restoration of whole biological structures, normalize the
metabolism, harmonize the immune status of an organism, and make active
antineoplastic factors (compounds that prevent the growth and development of
malignant cells). This way cell suspension introduction results in the increase
of the number of leukocytes (white blood cells) in ontological patients with
chemo rays depression of hemopoiesis (the formation of blood cells in the body)
from 2 to 5 thousand for two weeks.
22
Stem cells actively perform their main responsibility -- they replace the
sick and old cells of an aging organism rejuvenating it, which cannot be done by
any other medicine. Also, highly active regulating factors are present within
the cells suspension which exist and work only during an embryonic period of the
organism's development. That is why the cells suspension introduction in the
adult organism and engraftment of stem cells among the aging and pathologically
altered cells of this organism creates a unique situation when the most powerful
development, renewal and functions' ensuring factors that only exist start
constantly influencing the cells and organs of the adult organism.
These biological preparations in their complex state influence:
- normalization and stimulation of the metabolism
- rise in the activity of the immune and neuro-endocrinal systems
- strongly marked antineoplastic action;
- delay pre-senility, dynamically rejuvenating the organism
- strongly marked medical effects upon diversified pathologies
In the Ukraine the study and production of biological preparations from the
animal and human cells were being carried out within the framework of the
scientific programs under the aegis of the National Academy of Sciences, Medical
Academy of Sciences, Ministry of Public Health, Coordination Center of the
organs, tissues, and cells transplantation of the Ministry of Public Health of
Ukraine.
The application of allo (human) biological preparations have been allowed
by the Ministry of Public Health of Ukraine since 1991.
Cryopreservation
The ICT Lab in Kiev has developed and received a number of patents for the
preparation, cryo-preservation and the thawing process for biological material
which results in a 99% survival rate of the original biological mass. It is a
unique process developed by ICT and the technology is licensed to us for a
period of 10 years with an option to renew for another 10 years.
Long-term methods of storage have been used in medical practice for a long
time. Among those commonly famous methods of storage there is lyophilization
(freeze-drying), treatment by alcohol or formalin solutions and some others.
But the basic drawback of such methods of storage is dehydration of protein
compounds which cause cells and tissues to completely lose their main biological
features -- ability to function after transfusion.
Nowadays, low temperatures are the only way which allows for the storage of
cells and tissues for long time intervals (running for years) in a viable
condition. Storage in liquid nitrogen at the temperature of -196 C is the
basic method of the long-term storage of biological objects today. The
development of personal modern technologies of cryogenic-preservation,
corresponding to world standards as well as observing the demands of producing
biological preparations, their testing, marking and storing in accordance with
statements of the European
23
Tissue Banks Association, allowed us to create the supplies of high-quality
cryogenically-preserved embryonic stem cells, tissue preparations and extracts
for clinical application. We have developed a system of examination and
treatment of patients with minimum risk and maximum effect with the most
diversified pathologies. Stem cell therapy, with application of our biological
preparations, was especially impressive in showing the biological and functional
ability to rejuvenate and improve the quality of life.
Quality Control
The efficiency of stem cell therapy is ensured through the latest special
methods of bacteriological and virological control which guarantee the highest
quality of preparations. Every preparation prepared for use is supplied with
its own certificate containing test results which certify the safety of this
biological preparation. The patient's safety assurance totally corresponds with
international Standards of Activity of the European and American Tissue Banks
Association.
We have developed a system with our Kiev affiliate that is based on total
confidentiality, provides production of biological preparations in accordance
with the necessary requirements concerning the selection, preparation for
storage, storage and distribution of preparations for use in various medical
institutions.
The scientists, directors, executives and doctors at ICT, our affiliate in
the Ukraine, have a proven track record of more than 25 years in developing,
manufacturing, delivering worldwide and practically applying stem cell
transplants therapies. In 1981, ICT patented its first stem cell treatment
technology, and has been applying its processes ever since. Even before then,
ICT had obtained several patents relating to the preservation of various cell
and tissue types. To date, they have patented and practically applied 26
technologies regarding stem cells and related biological processes. To the best
of the Company's knowledge, most other stem cell research facilities have yet to
apply stem cell technology to actual medical practice; unlike most of its
competitors, our affiliate's experience with the practical application of its
stem cell transplants extends beyond research and development.
The Company warrants that a batch of allo stem cell biological solution for
transplants are individually prepared for a specific patient have been
manufactured in accordance with and in strict compliance with Good Manufacturing
Practice ("GMP"), and following the regulations of the U. S. Food and Drug
Administration (the "FDA") as well as the respective regulatory agencies of the
European Union. GMP is a set of guidelines established by the FDA regarding the
production or manufacture of any drug or biological products. The FDA certifies
and enforces US manufacturers that comply with the GMP standards. Although the
Company is not GMP certified or GMP enforceable since its manufacturing
facilities are located outside of the U.S., we have voluntarily complied with
all GMP standards. More information on GMP standards is available at
www.gmp-online-consultancy.com.
The Company follows all steps recommended by the FDA and the respective
counterpart regulatory agencies of the EU. We have put into practice all of
these recommendations to aid and assure top quality preparations of each allo
stem cell biological solution therapy batch. In
24
addition, many other specimens, samples of each stem cell transplant(s) prepared
by the Company are kept in liquid nitrogen at its laboratories, pursuant to FDA
regulations.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We do not directly engage in Research and Development. Instead, we license
the technology that results from Research and Development activities performed
by ICT, our affiliate in the Ukraine, and possibly the technology that results
from such activities by other affiliates or other independent companies in the
future. ICT currently has a number of related projects that are currently under
development or contemplated for the near future. They are as follows:
1. ARTIFICIAL ORGANS:
Stem cell transplants prepared by our method of primary cell culture
are used with a bio-polymer base to produce artificial organs. All stem
cell transplants could be turned into an artificial organ (individual
specific organs that are grown outside of the human body). This project is
still in the planning stage, and ICT has yet to substantially commence this
project.
2. BIOLOGICALLY ENHANCED BIO-POLYMER MATERIALS FOR SURGERY:
- Bio-degradable bio-polymers used together with an osteogenetic
(bone-producing) combination of stem cell transplants.
- Foam hydro gel used together with a chondrogenetic
(cartilage-producing) combination of stem cell transplants.
- Foam hydro gel used together with a soft tissue combination of
stem cell transplants.
This project is still in the planning stage, and ICT has yet to
substantially commence this project
3. TOPOLOGICAL STEM CELL TRANSPLANTS FOR BURN VICTIM PATIENTS AND COSMETIC
SURGERY.
Stem cells are transplanted topologically (outside the skin) onto burn
victims and other cosmetic surgery patients. This project has already been
developed and tested on one burn patient, as described and illustrated
above in the section entitled "Illustrations of Stem Cells and How They
Work." We have filed one provisional patent in the United States for the
use of this stem cell-based topological cream.
MARKETING AND PROMOTION
The Company intends to offer the Clients a compelling proposition with the
potential to be quite valuable for many patients with degenerative conditions:
our product offers a potential solution when all traditional medical options
have been exhausted. The Company seeks to increase the number of Clients that
make a purchase, to encourage repeat visits and purchases
25
and to extend Client retention. Loyal, satisfied Clients also generate
word-of-mouth advertising and awareness, and are able to reach thousands of
other Clients and potential Clients because of the reach of on-line
communication. The Company plans to employ a variety of media, program and
product development, business development and promotional activities to achieve
these goals. We put out periodic Press Releases on our activities that are
distributed by MacReport to numerous on-line publication sites as well as
printed magazines, newspapers and newsletters. In addition, we have an on-line
distribution network that sends these releases to subscribed potential patients,
medical practitioners, patient networks and associations (such as the
StrokeNetwork, Different Strokes, and Multiple Sclerosis Society). Finally, by
invitation of these same organizations, we have participated in various on-line
"chat" seminars organized by these organizations to help educate and answer
questions on stem cell transplantation therapy.
Our marketing strategy will emphasize some basic directives to keep us
focused on our business model. The Plan and its implementation are described
below:
- The Company's clinics will be used as labs to develop the stem cell
transplantation therapies, be a training facility for other doctors and a
base for our Tele-Medicine and web based Support Application.
- Our goal is to cause the medical practitioners and clinics to network
together and propose stem cell transplantation to their patients as an
alternative regenerative medical procedure. We plan to achieve this goal by
continuing to develop the information available on our online distribution
network, by participating in further online seminars, and by any other
means at our disposal to increase awareness of stem cell therapy as an
alternative to traditional medicine.
- A related goal is to spread awareness of stem cell therapy to patients.
Many of our future patients may be totally unaware of the existence of stem
cell transplantation as a treatment and its many benefits. Many of them are
desperately seeking alternative treatment for their diseases, or have
already given up hope, as modern medicine failed them. Many have formed
groups or joined organizations, which are seeking help. Many are looking
for anti-aging therapies and need to be aware of the advantages of stem
cell transplantation in this context. All of our efforts outlined in this
section are intended to achieve this goal.
- Our marketing department will set up and link websites in cooperation with
known Net medical communication experts, such as NUVIS (www.nuviscorp.com),
the European affiliate of the P\S\L Group (www.pslgroup.com.) the Genetics
Policy Institute (www.genpol.org). We estimate that over one million
physicians read their sites every month.
- Our marketing team will establish contact with existing patient
organizations. This direct marketing approach will be done on a
country-by-country basis, starting with Germany, which will be a
springboard into Europe and other countries, especially the United States.
There is currently no set plan as to which countries our team will
establish our marketing efforts in first. We will consider each country,
region, or
26
particular organization and make an individualized determination as to
where our marketing efforts should focus after establishing themselves in
Germany.
- Our marketing team will work directly with local specialists, ensuring an
efficient and rapid introduction in each country. Our team will develop a
marketing plan on a case-by-case basis, tailored to the particular culture,
demand, and laws of each country or region.
- Our website is connected to various internet search engines in order to
maximize exposure.
- In conjunction with accredited specialists in Information Technology, we
will set up a complete across-the-board computer-controlled logistics data
bank system. This system will be based in our affiliated clinics. It will
cover the steps of the process from order through manufacture, delivery and
treatment, concluding with follow-up records, always assuring patient
privacy. Patients and physicians will also be able to trace the procedure
of timing and shipping for their own preparations on the Internet.
Doctor and Clinic Support Services
The Company believes that a key objective is an ability to establish and
maintain long-term relationships with its doctors and clinics throughout the
world. The Company's planned team of customer support and service personnel
will be responsible for handling the education and training of doctors on our
Stem Cell Transplantation therapies and procedures. Doctor and clinic inquiries
and support will be addressed as part our global operations. The Company plans
to offer "Toll Free" phone numbers and through our website a Physician or
patient can research available therapies and how to contact us. The Company
plans to automate certain tools used by its Customer Support and Service staff
and intends to actively pursue enhancements to and further automation of its
Customer Support, Service and Operations.
PRICING
Our stem preparations are priced competitively with others in our industry,
reflecting pricing which has been the same as it has been in Germany for the
past approximate 10 years.
The complex approach to stem cell transplantation is based upon cleansing
and detoxification and balancing of all metabolic processes, whereby the patient
will be prepared to accept the stem transplants for their maximum healing
effects.
COMPETITION
We believe that the Company, with its licenses and affiliates, currently
possesses a critical competitive edge, as we are unaware of any competitor that
can claim the same degree of expertise in the manufacturing process and
cryo-preservation process of allo stem cell biological solution and other
products. These patented procedures have been used by our affiliates for
treatments that have saved lives and minimized the disability of patients,
particularly those
27
declared beyond the help of current modern medicine. Further, we are unaware of
any competitor engaged in the business of providing educational, informational,
and referral services to potential candidates for stem cell therapy.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in its market are its
brand name recognition, its professional level Medical and Scientific Advisory
Board, the selection process for patients to be treated, personalized services,
its Business Advisory Board, its Business Development Advisors (for other
countries), strategic partnerships and alliances, patient convenience and
accessibility to different treatment facilities. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors, and competitive pressures faced by the Company may have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the
competitive environment, the Company may from time to time make certain pricing,
service or marketing decisions or acquisitions that could have a material
adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations. New technologies and the expansion of existing technologies may
increase the competitive pressures on the Company.
REGULATION
As the technological milestones for stem cell transplantation have been
announced, governments have begun to impose regulation. Many developed
countries have now drawn up legislation or codes, or signed up to Conventions,
regulating the creation and use of embryonic stem cells. Some regimes have
already been shown to be lagging behind the technology.
From a regulatory viewpoint stem cell transplant represents a very unique
product, which really is not really a "product" at all, because it does not
fulfill the legal definition of a medicinal "product." The FDA's regulations
label live cell transplants as products, while under German law they are
classified neither as drugs nor as medications, because:
- they are individually prepared for each patient,
- they are for one time use only, by implantation on a pre-determined date,
- the implantation is carried out by a physician who wrote a prescription for
the stem cell transplants used,
- stem cell transplants have no 'shelf-life', and
- they are not distributed through the usual channels.
The response of many governments to reproductive cloning is a complete ban,
but approaches to therapeutic cloning vary quite widely. The United States
presidency and various European bodies and institutions are taking a restrictive
approach to embryonic stem cells, while the United Kingdom has passed relatively
permissive legislation.
The United States
The United States' regulation falls into two main areas: control of federal
funds for research, and the broader question of regulation of the activities
themselves. Following an announcement by President Bush on August 9, 2001,
United States federal funds became
28
available only for stem cell research on embryonic cell lines already in
existence. Before that, more liberal National Institutes of Health ("NIH")
Guidelines had recommended that funds were to be available for the creation and
use of stem cells from spare IVF embryos. The 64 embryonic cell lines
identified by US officials as already being in existence, and therefore a
suitable subject for federally funded research, were generated by various
institutes in the United States, Sweden, Australia, India, and Israel. We
currently plan to seek research funding from the NIH, and will consider seeking
research funding from other government health agencies in the future.
Separately from the funding issue, the regulation of embryonic stem cell
research is being actively considered by the US Government. On July 31, 2001,
the House of Representatives voted for a broad ban on human cloning that would
prohibit cloning for research purposes as well as for reproduction. The
resulting law imposes heavy financial penalties and terms of imprisonment on
those who generate cloned embryos, and thus affects both privately funded and
NIH-supported research. Fortunately, the Company's lines of allo transplants
are outside of this regulation, both because we do not engage in any cloning
activities, and because we do not engage in any stem cell production, research,
or development in the United States. Further, since all of our stem cell
activities are performed in jurisdictions where such activities are legal, we do
not currently have any obligation to obtain government approval for our
activities, and do not currently have any compliance costs. However, there is
no assurance that we will not face costs or the need for government approval
with regard to future regulations or the regulations of any country into which
we may expand our operations in the future.
Germany and the Rest of Europe
Germany's highest court re-affirmed its approval of therapeutic use of cell
allo transplantation on February 16, 2000, by its decision in the case number 1
BvR 420/97. Germany had previously approved of this use in the early fifties.
This German decision had serious implication for the remainder of the
European Community ("EC") as well. Under the European Community Council
Directives, all Member States of EC are obliged to accept laws and regulations
of other member States of European Community dealing with medical therapeutics
for human use, and that includes stem cell transplantation.
All applicable regulations of the Public Health Service, and EU Directives,
were incorporated in our manufacturing technology, and that was of enormous
importance in order to attain the heretofore unknown 'state-of-art' level of
safety of stem cell transplantation.
The European Community Council's Directives are in harmony with this German
legal concept, and thus European Community Member States do not classify stem
cell allo and/or xeno-transplants as 'products' either.
29
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and is not aware of
any pending or threatened claims.
The Company expects to be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time
to time in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to,
claims of alleged infringement of the trademarks and other intellectual property
rights of third parties by the Company and its licensees. Such claims, even if
not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and
managerial resources.

The Company is pursuing the registration of its trademark and service mark
in the U.S. and internationally, and has applied for the registration of its
"Cells For Life" trademark in China and the US. Effective Patent, trademark,
service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in
every country in which the Company's products and services are made available.
There is no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect: its
proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or
misappropriate the Company's copyrights, trademarks, trade dress and similar
proprietary rights. In addition, there is no assurance that other parties will
not assert infringement claims against the Company.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2005, the Company employed eight full-time employees,
and no other employees. The Company also engages independent contractors and
other temporary
31
employees in its operations and finance and administration departments. None of
the Company's employees is represented by a labor union, and the Company
considers its employee relations to be good. Competition for qualified
personnel in the Company's industry is intense, particularly among Doctors and
other technical staff. The Company believes that its future success will depend
in part on its continued ability to attract, hire and retain qualified
personnel.
RISK FACTORS
THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN EVALUATING THE
COMPANY, ITS BUSINESS, CONDITION AND PROSPECTS (FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE). THESE
RISK FACTORS ARE NOT NECESSARILY EXHAUSTIVE AND ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS, IF ANY,
MAY BE MATERIAL OR HAVE SIGNIFICANCE TO AN INDIVIDUAL INVESTOR. MANY INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES INVOLVE RISK FACTORS OR A RISK OF LOSS AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE
NORMAL AND CERTAIN EXTRAORDINARY RISKS.
USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING LANGUAGE; FORECASTS UNRELIABLE: All statements,
trend analysis and other information contained in this document relative to
markets for the Company's products and trends in net sales, gross margin and
anticipated expense levels, as well as other statements including words such as
"anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect" and "intend" and other
similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are subject to business and economic risks, and the
Company's actual results of operations may differ materially from those
contained in the forward-looking statements.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; ACCUMULATED DEFICIT; ANTICIPATED LOSSES: The
Company commenced operations upon execution of an exclusive global Licensing
Agreement with Institute of Cell Therapy (ICT). Accordingly, the Company has a
limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of its business and
prospects. The Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risks,
expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early
stage of development. Nonetheless, there is no assurance that the Company will
be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
UNPREDICTABILITY OF FUTURE REVENUES; POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY
OPERATING RESULTS; SEASONALITY; As a result of the Company's limited operating
history and the emerging nature of the biotechnological markets in which it
competes, the Company is unable to accurately forecast its revenues. The
Company's current and future expense levels are based largely on its investment
plans and estimates of future revenues and are to a large extent fixed and
expected to increase.
Sales and operating results generally depend on the volume of, timing of
and ability to fulfill the number of orders received for the biological solution
and the number of patients treated which are difficult to forecast. The Company
may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any
unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in
revenues in relation to the Company's planned expenditures would have an
immediate adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations. Further, as a strategic response to
changes in the competitive environment, the Company may from time to time make
certain pricing, service or marketing decisions which
32
could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
The Company expects to experience significant fluctuations in its future
quarterly operating results due to a variety of factors, many of which are
outside the Company's control. Factors that may adversely affect the Company's
quarterly operating results include (i) the Company's ability to retain existing
patients, attract new patients at a steady rate and maintain patient
satisfaction, (ii) the Company's ability to manage its production facility and
maintain gross margins, (iii) the announcement or introduction of new treatments
and/or patents by the Company and its competitors, (iv) price competition or
higher prices in the industry, (v) the level of use of the Internet and on-line
patient services, (vi) the Company's ability to upgrade and develop its systems
and infrastructure and attract new personnel in a timely and effective manner,
(vii) the level of traffic on the Company's website, (viii) technical
difficulties, system downtime, (ix) the amount and timing of operating costs and
capital expenditures relating to expansion of the Company's business, operations
and infrastructure, (x) governmental regulation, and (xi) general economic
conditions.
MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIAL GROWTH: LIMITED SENIOR MANAGEMENT RESOURCES: The
Company's goal is to rapidly and significantly expand its operations to address
potential growth and market opportunities. We expect to accomplish this by
adding additional affiliate clinics, and by our marketing efforts. By adding
affiliates, we expect not only to increase the number of patients that can be
treated, but increase the visibility of stem cell therapy in general. We
believe that the combination of word of mouth and our marketing efforts may
likely lead to a significant growth in demand for our products and services.
This expansion is expected to place a significant strain on the Company's
management, operational and financial resources. The Company anticipates a need
to hire new employees including senior management, key managerial, technical and
operations personnel who will have to be fully integrated into the Company,
operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, and to expand, train
and manage its already growing employee base.
The Company also will be required to add finance, administrative and
operations staff. Further, the Company's management will be required to maintain
and expand its relationships with Affiliate Treatment Clinics and Medical
Facilities, University Labs, Private Labs and Treating Physicians globally.
There is no assurance that the Company's planned personnel, systems,
procedures and controls will be adequate to support the Company's future
operations, that the management will be able to hire train, retain, motivate and
manage required personnel or that Company management will be able to
successfully identify, manage and exploit existing and potential market
opportunities. If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, its
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be
materially adversely affected.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL: The Company's
performance is substantially dependent on the continued services and on the
performance of its senior management and other key personnel, particularly the
Company's Chairman/CEO, Calvin
33
C. Cao, Chief Financial Officer, Daniel J. Sullivan, and U.S. Chief Operations
Officer, Peter K. Sidorenko. The Company's performance also depends on the
Company's ability to employ, retain and motivate its other officers and key
employees. The loss of the services of any of its executive officers or future
key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has
long-term employment agreements with its executive officers and maintains "key
person" life insurance policies. The Company's future success also depends on
its ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly
skilled doctors, scientists, qualified PhD's, technical, managerial, marketing
and customer service personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and
there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully attract,
assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. The failure to retain and
attract the necessary doctors, scientists, qualified PhD's, technical,
managerial, marketing and customer service personnel could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations.
COMPETITION: We believe that the Company currently possesses a critical
competitive edge, as we are unaware of any competitor that can claim the same
degree of expertise in the manufacturing process and cryo-preservation process
of allo stem cell biological solution and other products. These patented
procedures have been used for treatments that have saved lives and minimized the
disability of patients, particularly those declared beyond the help of current
modern medicine.
The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in its market
are its brand name recognition, its professional level Medical and Scientific
Advisory Board, the selection process for patients to be treated, personalized
services, its Business Advisory Board, its Business Development Advisors (for
other countries), strategic partnerships and alliances, patient convenience and
accessibility to different treatment facilities. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors, and competitive pressures faced by the Company may have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the
competitive environment, the Company may from time to time make certain pricing,
service or marketing decisions or acquisitions that could have a material
adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations. New technologies and the expansion of existing technologies may
increase the competitive pressures on the Company.
TRADEMARKS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: The Company regards its copyrights,
service marks, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets and similar intellectual
property as important, and critical to its success. In addition, certain
aspects of trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and
confidentiality and/or license agreements with its employees may be relied upon
to protect its proprietary rights. The Company is pursuing the registration of
its trademarks and service marks in the U.S. and internationally, and has
applied for the registration of certain of its trademarks and service marks.
Effective trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not
be available in every country. The Company expects that it may license in the
future certain parts of its proprietary rights, such as trademarks or
copyrighted material, to third parties.
34
There is no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect its
proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or
misappropriate the Company's copyrights, trademarks, trade dress and similar
proprietary rights. In addition, there is no assurance that other parties will
not assert infringement claims against the Company. The Company is not currently
aware of any legal proceedings pending against it.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES: The Company is subject to
regulation by domestic and foreign governmental agencies with respect to many
aspects of stem cell transplantation. In addition, new legislation or
regulation could occur. Any such new legislation or regulation, the application
of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to
the Company's business, or the application of existing laws and regulations to
stem cell transplantation technology could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results or operations.
CONTROL OF THE COMPANY: The Company's founders; Mr. Calvin Cao, Global
Capital Corp, together with Institute of Cell Therapy and the balance of the
Company's management, hold at least 51% percent of the outstanding voting power
of the Company. As a result, the founders and management will be able to (i)
elect, or defeat the election of, any of the Company's directors, (ii) amend or
prevent amendment of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws,
or (iii) affect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate
transaction.
The extent of ownership by the founders and the management may have the
effect of preventing a change in control of the Company or discouraging a
potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of the Company, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the market
price of the Common Stock.
NO ASSURANCE OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK, POSSIBLE LACK OF MARKET
MAKERS; VOLATILITY. Although the Company's stock is currently quoted on the
pink sheets, there is no assurance that a public trading market will continue or
develop for the Common Stock. There is also no assurance that the existing
trading or any such future market will be characterized as active.
Development of an active trading market for the Company's Common Stock may
depend upon the interest of securities market makers and the investing public
which may depend in turn on the Company's revenues and profits. The prices of
securities of companies which are in limited supply in the public securities
markets, which could describe the Company, are typically volatile.
POSSIBLE NEGATIVE EFFECT OF COMMON STOCK AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE: A
substantial component of the Common Stock issued by the Company is "restricted
stock" as defined in SEC Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
The offer of a significant number of restricted shares of Common Stock in the
future in the public market, at or about the same time pursuant to Rule 144 or
pursuant to a subsequent registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
could have a depressive effect on the public market price of the Company's
common stock.
35
TRADING LIMITATIONS ON STOCK AT A MARKET PRICE OF LESS THAN $5.00 PER
SHARE: Management cannot predict the market price of the Common Stock in the
public market. At any time that the market price is less than $5.00 per share,
certain larger stock brokerage firms may prohibit purchase or sale of the Shares
within their clients' accounts.
All securities brokerage firms effecting purchase orders for clients in the
Company's common stock at a time when the common stock has a market bid price of
less than $5.00 per share are required by federal law to send a standardized
notice to such clients regarding the risks of investing in "penny stocks", to
provide additional bid, ask and broker compensation and other information to the
patients and to make a written determination that the Company's common stock is
a suitable investment for the client and receive the client's written agreement
to the transaction, unless the client is an established client of the firm,
prior to effecting a transaction for the client. These business practices may
inhibit the development of a public trading market for the Compay's common stock
during periods that the price of the common stock in the public market is less
than $5.00 by both limiting the number of brokerage firms which may participate
in the market and increasing the difficulty in selling the Company's common
stock.
DEPENDENCE ON LICENSE AGREEMENT. Our business depends on our relationship
with ICT who is the principal supplier of stem cell biological solution that we
use with our patients and clients. Although we believe that alternative sources
of product are available, the loss of this supplier would have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
LOSS OF FINANCING. We cannot guarantee that additional financing will be
available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on
commercially reasonable terms. Even if we are able to expand our business, we
cannot provide certainty that we will be successful or that investors will
derive a profit from an investment in our equity.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF STEM CELL THERAPY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND THE NOTES
THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS FILING. STATEMENTS IN THIS MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS REGISTRATION
STATEMENT THAT ARE NOT STATEMENTS OF HISTORICAL OR CURRENT FACT CONSTITUTE
"FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS."
The following management discussion should be read together with the Stem Cell
Therapy International, Inc. financial statements included in this registration
statement See "Index to Financial Statements" at page F-1. Those financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles of the United States of America.
36
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. (the "Company") was originally
incorporated in Nevada on December 28, 1992 as Arklow Associates, Inc., and
after several name changes was renamed Altadyne, Inc. By March, 2005, the
Company (then Altadyne, Inc.) had no assets, liabilities, or ongoing business.
On March 20, 2005, R Capital Partners ("R Capital") acquired the Company (then
Altadyne, Inc.), and on September 1, 2005, Therapy International Corp., a Nevada
corporation ("Stem Cell Florida") acquired the Company by way of a reverse
acquisition. Following the transaction, Stem Cell Florida was a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Stem Cell Florida's shareholders became
shareholders of the Company. On October 5, 2005, the Company changed its name
to Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. to reflect the new business of the
Company. This transaction is accounted for as a reverse merger, with Stem Cell
Florida treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes.
Stem Cell Florida was incorporated in Nevada on December 2, 2004.
Following the reverse acquisition, the Company assumed and is continuing the
operations of Stem Cell Florida. The Company's executive management team are:
Calvin C. Cao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Daniel J. Sullivan, Chief
Financial Officer, and Peter K. Sidorenko, Chief Operating Officer. The
Company's affiliate in the Ukraine also has the following non-executive
officers: Dr. Yuriv Gladkikh, Chief Scientist; Dr. Galina Lobyntseva, Chief of
Manufacture; Sergei Martynenko, Director of Clinic in Kiev; Dr. Vladimir
Gladkikh, Medical Director; and Dr. Dimitriy Lobyntsev, Director of Research.
Although these individuals are not employees of the Company, we consider them
vital to the success of our business.
We are indirectly involved, as a "middle man," in research and development
and practical application within the field of regenerative medicine. We provide
allo (human) stem cell biological solutions that are currently being used in the
treatment of patients suffering from degenerative disorders of the human body.
We have established agreements with highly specialized, professional medical
treatment facilities around the world in locations where Stem Cell
Transplantation therapy is approved by the appropriate local government
agencies.
We intend to provide these biological solutions containing allo stem cell
products also in the United States to universities, institutes and privately
funded laboratory facilities for research purposes and clinical trials.
We will initially devote most of its efforts toward organization and fund
raising for planned clinics and patient operations and limited revenues have
been generated from any such operations. The Company has experienced recurring
losses from operations since its inception and as at December 31, 2005, we had a
working capital deficit of $92,412 and an accumulated deficit from operations of
$90,823. As noted in the independent audit report for the audited Stem Cell
Therapy International, Inc. financial statements for the period from inception
to March 31, 2005 , these factors raise doubt about the ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern. Realization of the Company's business plan is
dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its future financing requirements,
and the success of future operations. This is because we have not generated
substantial revenues since inception. Our only other source for
37
cash at this time is through investments or loans from management. We must
raise cash to implement our project and stay in business.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, and their basis
of application is consistent. Outlined below are those policies considered
particularly significant:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Common stock transactions for services are recorded at either the fair
value of the stock issued or the fair value of the services rendered, which ever
is more evident on the day that the transactions are executed. The certificates
must be issued subsequent to the transaction date.
We apply Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB No.
104") to our revenue arrangements. Currently, our only revenue transactions
derive from the licensing of stem cell technology, the sale of stem cell
products, and providing informational and referral services; we have no plans to
enter into any other revenue transaction in the near future. In accordance with
SAB No. 104, we recognize revenue related to these licenses, sales and services
upon delivering the license or product, or rendering the services, respectively,
as long as (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) the sales
price is fixed or determinable, and (3) collection of the related receivable is
reasonably assured. Any payments received prior to delivery of the products or
services are included in deferred revenue and recognized once the products are
delivered or the services are performed.
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and
are included in operating expenses. Since we currently are not, and have never
been, directly involved in research and development, the Company had no research
and development expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and the
period December 2, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005, or for
the three months ended March 31, 2006.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of December 31, 2005 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2005
We had sales of $50,934 during the nine months ended December 31, 2005,
with a cost from ICT for the stem cell biological material delivered of $34,600
during the period. Our net loss for the period was $256,022, which reflects
primarily selling, general and administrative expenses. Sales reflected
treatment of 2 patients during the period at our Affiliate's clinical facility
in Kiev, Ukraine. As our operations only commenced in December 2004, there is
no prior period for comparison.
38
Gross margins for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 was 32.0%. We
anticipate comparable margins on future patient services and delivery of our
stem cell biological products.
December 2, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005
Operations for the period from inception on December 2, 2004 as compared to
the nine month numbers set forth above is identical other than an increase in
selling, general and operating expenses of approximately $26,281 for the
additional, approximately four month period, increasing our net loss to $282,263
for the period. Revenues, cost of sales and gross margin were identical.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended December 31,
2005 and the period since December 2, 2004 (date of inception) through December
31, 2005, the Company has had a net loss of $256,022 and $282,263, respectively
and cash used by operations of $124,180 and $154,887, respectively, and negative
working capital of $92,412 at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, the
Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters,
recoverability of recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial
statements is dependent upon the Company's ability to begin operations and to
achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its
activities principally from shareholder advances and some relatively minor sales
of equity securities (as set forth below). The Company intends on financing its
future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the
sale of equity securities until such time that funds provided by operations are
sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
Unpredictability of future revenues; Potential fluctuations in quarterly
operating results; Seasonality
As a result of the Company's limited operating history and the emerging
nature of the biotechnological markets in which it competes, the Company is
unable to accurately forecast its revenues. The Company's current and future
expense levels are based largely on its investment plans and estimates of future
revenues and are to a large extent fixed and expected to increase.
Sales and operating results generally depend on the volume of, timing of
and ability to fulfill the number of orders received for the biological solution
and the number of patients treated which are difficult to forecast. The Company
may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any
unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in
revenues in relation to the Company's planned expenditures would have an
immediate adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations. Further, as a strategic response to
changes in the competitive environment, the Company may from time to time make
certain pricing, service or marketing decisions which could have a material
adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations.
39
The Company expects to experience significant fluctuations in its future
quarterly operating results due to a variety of factors, many of which are
outside the Company's control. Factors that may adversely affect the Company's
quarterly operating results include (i) the Company's ability to retain existing
patients, attract new patients at a steady rate and maintain patient
satisfaction, (ii) the Company's ability to manage its production facility and
maintain gross margins, (iii) the announcement or introduction of new treatments
and/or patents by the Company and its competitors, (iv) price competition or
higher prices in the industry, (v) the level of use of the Internet and on-line
patient services, (vi) the Company's ability to upgrade and develop its systems
and infrastructure and attract new personnel in a timely and effective manner,
(vii) the level of traffic on the Company's website, (viii) technical
difficulties, system downtime, (ix) the amount and timing of operating costs and
capital expenditures relating to expansion of the Company's business, operations
and infrastructure, (x) governmental regulation, and (xi) general economic
conditions.

ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
At inception Stem Cell Florida accepted the business contacts, contracts
and services of the Founders. After the reverse acquisition, the Company
accepted the business contacts, contracts and services of Stem Cell Florida.
The Board of Directors of Stem Cell Florida was composed at the time of its
founding of Global Capital Corp., which purchased shares of Stem Cell Florida at
par value. Global Capital Corp., whose sole director was and remains Calvin
Cao, was not compensated for its services as director, and was subsequently
replaced as sole director by Mr. Cao and Mr. Sidorenko. Pursuant to the terms
of the reverse acquisition, Global Capital Corp.'s shares of Stem Cell Florida
were exchanged for shares of the Company (then named Altadyne, Inc.).
The Company has received funding from Calvin Cao in the total amount of
$48,378 at December 31, 2005 to assist with its financial obligations. These
advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.
The Company has also received funding totaling $224,582 at December 31,
2005 from Global Capital Corp. for funding of the Company's operations. The
note is non-interest bearing and unsecured.
The above terms and amounts are not necessarily indicative of the terms and
amounts that would have been received had comparable transactions been entered
into with independent party.
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
The following statements relating to the capital stock set forth the
material terms of the Company's securities; however, reference is made to the
more detailed provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and the By-laws,
copies of which are filed as exhibits to this registration statement.
OVERVIEW
The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of
100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. There are presently
33,563,234 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2006
and 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stockThere are no issued and
outstanding shares that could be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Currently there are
no outstanding warrants or options to purchase stock. The Company is not
registering for sale any currently outstanding share under this registration
statement, for sale either by the Company or its shareholders.
COMMON STOCK
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share
on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of common stock do
not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to
share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be
50
declared from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion from
funds legally available therefore.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
the holders of common stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining
after payment in full of all liabilities.
Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase the Company's
common stock. There are no conversion or redemption rights or sinking fund
provisions with respect to the common stock.
PREFERRED STOCK
There are currently 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding
and no other shares of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors is authorized,
without further action by the shareholders, to issue series of preferred stock
from time to time, and to designate the rights, preferences, limitations and
restrictions of and upon shares of each series including dividend, voting,
redemption and conversion rights. The Board of Directors also may designate par
value, preferences in liquidation, and the number of shares constituting any
series. We believe that the availability of preferred stock issuable in series
will provide increased flexibility for structuring possible future financings
and acquisitions, if any, and in meeting other corporate needs. The rights and
privileges of holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power
of holders of common stock, and the authority of our Board of Directors to issue
preferred stock without further shareholder approval could have the effect of
delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company The board
of directors has the authority to designate classes or series of preferred stock
in the future with rights that may adversely affect the rights of the holders of
our common stock or its market price.
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
There are currently 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding
to one holder. The shares of Series A preferred stock have the same voting and
dividend rights as common shares and are convertible on a one for one basis upon
a minimum of 61 days notice to the CompanyThe Series A preferred stock may not
be converted into common stock if such conversion would result in the holder
holding more than 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We do not intend to pay additional dividends on our common stock. We plan
to retain any earnings for use in the operation of our business and to find
future growth.
The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its Common Stock nor does the
Company anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the near future.
It is the present policy of the Company not to pay cash dividends on the Common
Stock but to retain earnings, if any, to fund growth and expansion. Under
Nevada law a company is prohibited from
51
paying dividends if the Company, as a result of paying such dividends, would not
be able to pay its debts as they come due, or if the Company's total liabilities
and preferences to preferred shareholders if any exceed total assets. Any
payment of cash dividends of the Common Stock in the future will be dependent
upon the Company's financial condition, results of operations, current and
anticipated cash requirements, plans for expansion, as well as other factors the
Board of Directors deems relevant.
REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS
The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company plans to furnish its
stockholders with an annual report for each fiscal year ending March 31
containing financial statements audited by its independent certified public
accountants.
TRANSFER AGENT
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Standard Transfer
& Trust Company, 2980 South Rainbow Blvd., Suite 220H, Las Vegas, NV 89146.

ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
MARKET INFORMATION:
Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. common stock is quoted in United
States markets in the Pink Sheets under the symbol "SCII". Stem Cell Therapy
International, Inc. intends to apply to have its capital shares quoted on the
Over the Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") or listed on the American Stock
Exchange ("AMEX"). We have not, at this time, made application to the OTCBB or
AMEX. We will make such application only upon completion of this 10-SB
Registration Statement and our consequent status as a reporting company under
SEC rules. We will also have to meet the other qualification requirements from
OTCBB and/or AMEX. However, Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. cannot make
any assurance that trading on OTCBB or AMEX will be approved.
As the Pink Sheets are not appropriately deemed as a public trading market,
there is no public trading market for our common stock. Currently there are
500,000 issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred stock, which are
convertible to shares of common stock on a one for one basis after a certain
time period. There are no issued and outstanding shares that could be sold
pursuant to Rule 144. Currently there are no outstanding warrants or options to
purchase stock. The Company is not registering for sale any currently
outstanding share under this registration statement, for sale either by the
Company or its shareholders.

LLC, a privately owned company headquartered in New York City, under the symbol
"SCII". On April 10, 2006 the last reported sale price of our common stock was
$0.74 per share. The Company's common stock is subject to provisions of
Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock rule." Section
15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks, and Rule
15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of "penny stock" that is found in Rule
3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines "penny stock" to be any
equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exceptions. As long as the Company's common stock is deemed to be a
penny stock, trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors.

4(2) and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On September 1, 2005, Stem Cell Florida Acquired the Company (then

Florida in a non-cash transaction and Stem Cell Florida became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Altadyne. As consideration for 100% of the shares of Stem Cell
Florida, the shareholders of Stem Cell Florida acquired (1) shares newly issued

Capital. Of the 22,500,000 shares originally held by R Capital, R Capital
retained 4,349,196 shares and transferred 4,000,000 shares to finders

The Nevada General Corporation Law provides, in effect, that any person
made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of our company may and, in certain cases, must be
indemnified by our company against, in the case of a non-derivative action,
judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of
a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), if in either
type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company and in any criminal
proceeding in which such person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
lawful. This indemnification does not apply, in a derivative action, to matters
as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is
liable to our company, unless upon court order it is determined that, despite
such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the
case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for expenses.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director or officer as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we
aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification
by any director or officer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc.
Tampa, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Stem Cell Therapy
International, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of March 31, 2006 and
the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash
flows for the year then ended and the period December 2, 2004 (Date of
Inception) through March 31, 2005 and 2006. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we expressed no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Company. as of March 31, 2006
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and
the period from December 2, 2004 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2005 and
2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company
has an accumulated deficit of $532,402 from inception to March 31, 2006, cash
used by operations of $162,258 and negative working capital of $301,046. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended March 31, 2006 and the
periods from December 2, 2004 (Date of Inception)
through March 31, 2005 and 2006
1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. (the "Company"), was originally
incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 28, 1992 as Arklow Associates,
Inc. The Company's operating business. The Company's operating business is
Stem Cell Therapy International Corp. ("Stem Cell Florida") a wholly owned
subsidiary which is a development stage enterprise and was incorporate in the
state of Nevada on December 2, 2004. To date, the Company's activities have
been limited to raising capital, organizational matters, and the structuring of
its business plan. The corporate headquarters is located in Tampa, Florida.
The Company is engaged in the licensing of stem cell technology, the sales of
stem cell products, and information, education, and referral services relating
to potential stem cell therapy patients. The Company manufactures allo stem cell
biological solutions that are currently being used in the treatment of patients
suffering from degenerative disorders of the human body such as Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's Disease, ALS, leukemia, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis,
arthritis, spinal cord injuries, brain injury, stroke, heart disease, liver and
retinal disease, diabetes as well as certain types of cancer. The Company has
established agreements with highly specialized, professional medical treatment
facilities around the world in locations where stem cell transplantation therapy
is approved by the appropriate local government agencies. The Company intends to
provide these biological solutions containing stem cell products in the United
States to universities, institutes and privately funded laboratory facilities
for research purposes and clinical trials. Its products, which are available
now, include various allo stem cell biological solutions (containing human stem
cells), low-molecular proteins and human growth factor hormones. The Company
intends to deliver stem cell transplants worldwide, educate and consult with
physicians and patients in the clinical aspects of stem cell transplantation.
Effective September 1, 2005, Stem Cell Florida entered into a Reorganization and
Stock Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with the Company, which was then named
Altadyne, Inc., a company quoted on the Pink Sheets and which has no ongoing
operations. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company (then Altadyne, Inc.)
acquired Stem Cell Florida and changed its name to Stem Cell Therapy
International, Inc.
Effective September 1, 2005, Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. revised its
Articles of Incorporation to reflect the establishment of 500,000 shares of
Series A Participating Preferred Stock with $.001 par value.

2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. For the year ended March 31, 2006 and
the period since December 2, 2004 (date of inception) through March 31, 2005 and
2006, the Company has had a net loss of $506,161, 26,241 and $532,402,
respectively and cash used by operations of $131,051, $31,207 and $162,258,
respectively, and negative working capital of $301,046 at March 31, 2006. As of
March 31, 2006, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view
of these matters, recoverability of recorded asset amounts shown in the
accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Company's ability to
begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the
Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of equity
securities and shareholder advances. The Company intends on financing its
future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the
sale of equity securities until such time that funds provided by operations are
sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The significant accounting policies followed are:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

period from December 2, 2004 (Date of Inception)
through March 31, 2005 and 2006
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in
the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance
provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon
demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.
Common stock transactions for services are recorded at either the fair
value of the stock issued or the fair value of the services rendered, which ever
is more evident on the day that the transactions are executed. The certificates
must be issued subsequent to the transaction date.
Deferred offering costs in connection with the Company raising additional
capital through the sale of its common stock will be capitalized and will be
charged against additional paid-in capital as common stock is issued. For stock
issued as payment for deferred offering costs, these costs will be capitalized
and included in a contra-equity account. If there is no issuance of common
stock, the costs incurred will be charged to operations.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets or asset
groups whenever adverse events or changes in business climate indicate that the
expected undiscounted future cash flows from the related assets may be less than
previously anticipated. If the net book value of the related assets exceeds the
undiscounted future cash flows of the assets, the carrying amount would be
reduced to the present value of their expected future cash flows and an
impairment loss would be recognized. There has been no impairment losses in the
period presented.

period from December 2, 2004 (Date of Inception)
through March 31, 2005 and 2006
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In determining the value of options, the value of each option is estimated at
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option model with the following
weighted average assumptions for options granted during the period ended March
31, 2005:
Dividend rate 0.00%
Risk free interest rate 4.18%
Expected lives 2 - 5 years
Volatility 290%
There were no options awarded during the year ended March 31, 2006.
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and
are included in operating expenses. The Company had no research & development
expenses for the year ended March 31, 2006 or the periods December 2, 2004 (date
of inception) through March 31, 2005 and 2006.
We apply Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB No. 104")
to our revenue arrangements. Currently, our only revenue transactions derive
from the licensing of stem cell technology, the sale of stem cell products, and
providing informational and referral services; we have no plans to enter into
any other revenue transaction in the near future. In accordance with SAB No.
104, we recognize revenue related to these licenses, sales and services upon
delivering the license or product, or rendering the services, respectively, as
long as (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) the sales price
is fixed or determinable, and (3) collection of the related receivable is
reasonably assured. Any payments received prior to delivery of the products or
services are included in deferred revenue and recognized once the products are
delivered or the services are performed.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income
tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the
period that included the enactment date.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted
average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock
equivalents are not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
for the periods presented because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ('FASB") issued
SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"), which requires, among
other things, that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
stock options, be measured at their grant-date fair value and expensed in the
consolidated financial statements. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123R
are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 2005; therefore,
the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of 2006. The
pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 will no longer be
an alternative to financial statement recognition. There is no effect of the
adoption of SFAS No. 123R at March 31, 2006 as the Company did not have any
options issued or outstanding.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle. In addition, it carries forward
without change the guidance contained in APB Opinion No. 20 for reporting the
correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in
accounting estimate. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior
periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle in most
circumstances. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company plans to prospectively adopt SFAS
No. 154 at the beginning of the 2007 fiscal year.
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on
Issue No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements
Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination ("EITF
05-06"). EITF 05-06 concludes that the amortization period for leasehold
improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements that
are in service

significantly after and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term
should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term
that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be
reasonably assured at the date of inception. As of March 31, 2006, this
pronouncement had no impact on the financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF),
the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a
material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
4. ACQUISITIONS
Effective September 1, 2005, Stem Cell Florida entered into a Reorganization and
Stock Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with the Company, then named Altadyne,
Inc., a company quoted on the Pink Sheets, which had no assets, liabilities or
ongoing operations. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company, (then
Altadyne) acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of
Stem Cell Florida in a non-cash transaction and Stem Cell Florida became a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subsequent to the merger, the Altadyne
changed its name to Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. This transaction is
accounted for as a reverse merger, with the Company treated as the accounting
acquirer for financial statement purposes.
The results of operations for Altadyne for the period September 1, 2005 through
March 31, 2006 have been included in the statement of operations of the Company.
Pro forma financial statements are not presented as the acquisition is deemed
not significant and the pro-forma financial statements for continuing operations
of the surviving entity are not materially different from the financial
statements presented.

INNER SYSTEMS, INC.
On February 2, 2005 the Company entered into a Term Sheet Agreement ("Term
Sheet") with Inner Systems, Inc. ("ISI"). ISI is a publicly-reporting company
which presently has no ongoing operations. Under the terms of the Term Sheet,
the Company and ISI would arrange a transaction whereby the Company would merge
into ISI. Thereafter, the merged entity would change its name to Stem Cell

there are 10,000,000 authorized shares of participating convertible preferred
stock, $.001 par value, the issuance of which is subject to approval by the
Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to declare

difference between the calculated fair value and the book value, which was
$10,000 and was recorded as additional paid in capital and interest expense, as
the preferred stock can be converted at any time after the issue date.

9. INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are based on estimates of the annual effective tax rate and
evaluations of possible future events and transactions and may be subject to
subsequent refinement or revision.
The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and, therefore, no
tax liabilities have been incurred for the periods presented. The amount of
unused tax losses available to carry forward and apply against taxable income in
future years totaled approximately $500,000. The loss carry forwards expire
beginning in 2025. Due to the Company's continued losses, management has
established a valuation allowance equal to the amount of deferred tax asset
because it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize this
benefit.

financial institution for $120,000 which is available to be drawn against

standing letter of credit is collateralized by a $120,000 certificate of
deposit.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors
Stem Cell Therapy International Corp.
Tampa, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Stem Cell Therapy
International Corp. (a development stage enterprise) as of March 31, 2005 and
the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash
flows for the period December 2, 2004 (Date of Inception) through March 31,
2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of
Stem Cell Therapy International Corp. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we expressed no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Company. as of March 31, 2005
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for period from December 2,
2004 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company
has an accumulated deficit of $26,241 from inception to March 31, 2005, cash
used by operations of $31,207 and negative working capital of $14,115. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period from December 2, 2004 (Date of Inception)
through March 31, 2005
1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Stem Cell Therapy International Corp. (the "Company"), is a development stage
enterprise that was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 2. 2004. To
date, the Company's activities have been limited to raising capital,
organizational matters, and the structuring of its business plan. The corporate
headquarters is located in Tampa, Florida.
The Company's planned line of business will be to become the provider of the
stem cell xeno-transplantation. The Company intends to deliver our stem cell
transplants worldwide, educate and consult physicians and patients in the
clinical aspects of stem cell transplantation.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. For the period since December 2, 2004
(date of inception) through March 31, 2005, the Company has had a net loss of
$26,241 and cash used by operations of $31,207, and negative working capital of
$14,115. As of March 31, 2005, the Company has not emerged from the development
stage. In view of these matters, recoverability of recorded asset amounts shown
in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Company's ability
to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception,
the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of equity
securities and shareholder advances. The Company intends on financing its
future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the
sale of equity securities until such time that funds provided by operations are
sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies followed are:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(a development stage enterprise)
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period from December 2, 2004 (Date of Inception)
through March 31, 2005
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in
the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance
provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon
demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.
Common stock transactions for services are recorded at either the fair
value of the stock issued or the fair value of the services rendered, which ever
is more evident on the day that the transactions are executed. The certificates
must be issued subsequent to the transaction date.
Deferred offering costs in connection with the Company raising additional
capital through the sale of its common stock will be capitalized and will be
charged against additional paid-in capital as common stock is issued. For stock
issued as payment for deferred offering costs, these costs will be capitalized
and included in a contra-equity account. If there is no issuance of common
stock, the costs incurred will be charged to operations.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets or asset
groups, whenever adverse events or changes in business climate indicate that the
expected undiscounted future cash flows from the related assets may be less than
previously anticipated. If the net book value of the related assets exceeds the
undiscounted future cash flows of the assets, the carrying amount would be
reduced to the present value of their expected future cash flows and an
impairment loss would be recognized. There has been no impairment losses in the
period presented.
In determining the value of options, the value of each option is estimated
at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option model with the following
weighted average assumptions for options granted during the period ended March
31, 2005:
Dividend rate 0.00%
Risk free interest rate 4.18%
Expected lives 2 - 5 years
Volatility 290%
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and
are included in operating expenses. The Company had no research & development
expenses for the period December 2, 2004 (date of inception) through March 31,
2005.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income
tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the
period that included the enactment date.
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted
average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock
equivalents are not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
for the periods presented because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ('FASB") issued
SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"), which requires, among
other things, that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
stock options, be measured at their grant-date fair value and expensed in the
consolidated financial statements. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123R
are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 2005; therefore,
the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of 2006. The
pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 will no longer be
an alternative to financial statement recognition. Management has not
determined the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R
4. ACQUISITIONS
BIO-CELLULAR RESEARCH ORGANIZATION LLC
On December 15, 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with Bio-Cellular
Research Organization LLC ("BCRO") to acquire the operations and intellectual
property of BCRO. BCRO prepares stem cell transplants of animal fetal origin of
200 cell types.
